id have to agree.. if im the suns id rather let nash walk for nothing then take NY's bagage handlers in a S&T.. thed have to be more willing to take Jose that that crap.. unless they are truelly insane

Plus Brooks is a shoot first, shoot second PG and Marshall is hardly ready to start, in my opinion.

Brooks off bench.
Calderon allows Marshall to get his feet wet and adjust to NBA.

Why is paying $20 million over 3 years a good move for the Raps for essentially a bench player?

before the NY melo drama.. Fields was playing really well.. was considered by most to be the steal of his draft year.. since Melo has a habit of hogging the spotlight it hasnt left much room for anyone else to do anything.. melo has destroyed that team IMO.. i expect if we do get Fields He'll have a bouce back year..

Yeah I saw comments like him being a 'lock-down defender' (have you all watched Fields play for the Knicks the last 2 years? He's no lock-down defender) or reverting to his 8ppg averages in his rookie year.

If Nash wasn't considering signing here would everyone be as joyous about this signing as they are now? lol

Fields is a solid role player. Why pay a role player $20 million over 3 years?

For those of you who were curious about him being too short to be a small forward... he's 6'6.5 barefoot so he is most likely at the very least 6'7.5 in shoes and i think that 6'7.5 is plenty height for small forward does anybody know if he is an above average ball handler?

I think Landry can play small forward (better than DeMar or Weems anyways), but I was hoping that we could get a better scoring SF whom could also play the role of the closer. Still I would grade the addition of Landry as a solid base hit.....now we need a homer from BC to drive the run in.

Is there any chance this backfires in BC's face? Like Nash gets pissed because we're limiting his options and signs with Dallas?

that's what jumped to my mind. Can we just look at this as we want Fields for $20 million. If not and it's a tactical thing to knock out NY, what does that say about our chances in the first place for Nash? If he's debating the best place to go, we blackmail (sorry, just using Dwight-speak) out one of his options? Not a good vibe. Nash to Dallas and Fields to us. ughhh

If Bryco can get rid of DD for anything, and this Fields move messes up NYC deal, I'm going to from "Punch Bryan when I see him " status to "High five Bryan when I see him" status. IF he manages any other good deals there is a chance I change to "Hug Bryan when I see him"
